Dark Delicacies Bestseller List for Week of 8/6/06
Paperback Fiction
(1) Bound in Flesh - David Thomas Lord (Kensington)
(2) The Vampire Within - Drew Silver (Global Book)
(3) Horror: The Best of the Year 2006 - Betancourt/Wallace (Prime)
(4) Staying Dead - Laura Anne Gilman (Luna)
(5) Strange Intineries - Tim Powers (Tachyon)
(6) The Dream Thief - Helen A Rosburg (Medallion)
(7) Pandora Drive - Tim Waggoner (Leisure)
(8) The Cleansing - Shane Ryan Staley (Bloodletting)
(9) Some of Your Blood - Theodore Sturgeon (Millipede)
(10) Rabid Growth - James A. Moore (Leisure)
Although there is violence and certainly some emotional and physical darkness in the Retriever series, I never think of it as being horror, or even dark fantasy, particularly. I tend to describe it as "contemporary caper novels with magic" and if pushed will describe the magic as "scientific energies harnessed by unknown means." And yet, horror readers seem to want to claim it, too.
Hey, I'm happy to hang out with everyone. Pass the bottle and turn up the tunes, dude.
